SPERM contains the man's half of the genetic material needed to make a baby, the other half comes from a woman's egg. Sperms are produced in a man's testicles and are released from his body through the penis when he ejaculates (climaxes). Sperm are released in a milky fluid called SEMEN. Semen from one ejaculation contains around 500 million sperm! Each sperm can make a woman pregnant. To avoid pregnancy use family planning. HIV and other infections are carried in milky fluid called semen. Some semen can be released even before ejaculation, so to avoid infections and pregnancy put on a condom as soon as you think you will have sex.
